REHOVOT, Israel, June 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (NASDAQ: STKH), an
international deep-tech food company at the forefront of the
cultivated meat industry, today announced that it has completed the
upgrade of its industrial-scale 3D bio-printer. The integration of
electronic cards and printheads with a fully-digital ink delivery
system now enables high-throughput printing for a variety of
species through hundreds of printhead nozzles, with the potential
to print tons of meat per month.
High-throughput 3D printing can be used to create complex meat
structures at a commercial scale. The complete upgrade includes
hundreds of nozzles that work simultaneously on a carousel to allow
the high-throughput volume, with a modular structure that is
expected to enable the addition of printheads per specifications of
Steakholder Foods' clients. The printheads are controlled and
managed through a DropJet printed circuit board (PCB). In the final
part of the upgrade, printheads were connected to Steakholder
Foods' proprietary, in-house software, that models and reads design
files and creates the slicing that manages printing through the
printheads. This software enables the printing of complex 3D
structures with extreme precision. The system's adaptability is
expected to allow the printing of almost any species, as the
printer systems keep cells alive and undamaged throughout the
printing process.
Future development is expected to include further automation
capabilities, cost optimization, and validations for
commercialization. Additional development may also include
modification and customization for partner needs.
Itamar Atzmony, VP of
Engineering at Steakholder Foods: "Steakholder Foods' 3D
printer cutting-edge technology is fully developed in-house. From
the mechanical design to the software and electronics, this upgrade
brings us one step closer to mass production, creating
sophisticated meat and fish structures for the
cultivated meat industry."
